About me - Jen Bishop

I am a lover of travel, pets and the Lord. I have been to many third world countries trying to offer a helping hand. I have so much that I want to give back. Yet, I always return having been given more than give.

I have six dogs that love to run and play

Business > Nonprofits Where to raise money for a nonprofit organization

Raising money for a non profit organization is very difficult, especially if your organization is not in vogue. The first thing you must realize is that you cannot raise money in one place.

Religion & Spirituality > Islam Comparing Muslims in the Middle East with those in Indonesia

Let me begin by saying that I am not Muslim. I am a Christian who has lived in both the Middle East and in Indonesia with and among Muslim families.

Politics, News & Issues > War & Peace America must win the heart of the Muslim people

I spent several months at the beginning of the war in Iraq. I lived with a lovely family. I was among the first group of NGO's or Non-Governmental Organizations that went into Iraq.

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues The church's look at women

If it is possible to be sane and hold two totally different views of a subject in your mind that is where I am. I am actually a woman in the ministry. I run a non-profit non-denominational ministry. I have a seminary education and am Southern Baptist. There are very few Southern Baptist pastors and my seminary recently fired...

Pets & Animals > Dogs (Other) How to cope with the loss of a dog

Each person copes with the loss or death of a dog as differently, as he would deal with the loss or death of a member of the family.

Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Age old question: What determines who you are?

There are a number of components that determine who you are. There are outside defining factors. For example, one can be defined as a wife, mother, teacher, cancer survivor, among other labels.

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Christian faith and the beauty of simplicity

In the Nairobi slum of Kibera I met Fred, an eight-year-old boy with an angel face, a smile that showed some missing front teeth, and eyes that gleamed with just enough mischief that I was sure he knew how to have fun.

Religion & Spirituality > Christianity (Other) Reflections: "Help thy neighbor"

The two greatest in the Bible are to love the Lord your God with all your heart and to love your neighbor as yourself.
